Chapter 13 Section 5

Namie opened the closet in the living room, took out a bottle of cognac and said, "I really can only drink a little." "Well, I know." Xingzheng nodded, "I'll just drink some tonight. It's rare for Mr. Yuchuan to come, how can you not even have a glass of wine?" "Teacher, don't be polite to me." Tang Chuan, who was sitting opposite him, waved his hand lightly. "I want to drink it myself. You are just being used as an excuse by me. Don't be disgusted, just drink some with me. Anyway, according to this situation, I won't be able to sleep tonight."

"Of course I'm fine." Namie put a wine glass in front of the two of them, poured cognac, and the air was immediately filled with a strong aroma of wine. "It seems that we can't toast to the reunion between you and me." Xing Zheng smiled and licked the cognac, "I feel like my tongue is going numb, it's really delicious." Namie also sat down on the chair and poured some black tea from the teapot into the cup. "I didn't even know your son had come back." Tang Chuan said. "I don't have the feeling that he will come, and I don't think that kid himself. We are completely like strangers. Even if we are connected by blood, if we are not connected by heart, we are not a family. You Don't you think so?"

"I don't know much about the specific situation..." "You have always been a person who has nothing to do with yourself, and you are high-spirited." Xingzheng shook his shoulders lightly, turned to look at Namie and said, "Although Yasuda-kun and Imura-kun's grades are also good, but Neither of them can compare to this Yu Chuan-kun. He used to be called a genius, no, he should be called so now." "Don't say that." "You never liked people saying that about you. Namie, what qualifications do you think are necessary to be a good researcher?"

Namie thought about it for a while and replied, "Are you serious?" "This may also be necessary, but seriousness alone is not enough. Sometimes a moment of confusion can lead to great discoveries in the end. The essential qualification of a researcher is purity. A pure white heart dyed by any color is what researchers must have. This seems simple, but it is very difficult to do it. The reason is that researching this kind of work is actually like bit by bit Pile up stones. Hard-working researchers will hope to pile higher than the goal. They have a natural confidence in what they have piled up along the way, and firmly believe that there may be nothing wrong at all. However, sometimes this is also fatal. The initial stone placed Whether the position of the block is really appropriate, no, what he put may not be a stone at all-when such doubts arise, it is difficult to overthrow all the things that he has built before, because most people will be overthrown by the previous ones. I am bound by merit. I am lucky to have a pure heart." Xing Zheng said while shaking his clenched left hand slightly.

Namie hadn't seen him speak so earnestly for a long time.He didn't look drunk, maybe Bang Hong's death made him nervous. "And this Yu Chuan-kun, no matter how much hard work he has put in before, as long as he has a little doubt in his heart, he can immediately overthrow and start over. I still remember your exploration of the single magnetic pole." "That's what you're talking about." Tang Chuan smiled wryly, and took a sip of the cognac in his glass. "Doesn't a magnet have S poles and N poles?" Xingzheng looked at Namie's face and began to say, "S poles and N poles form a pair. No matter how small the magnet is, it is impossible to have only S poles or only N poles. But from the perspective of elementary particles, is it possible? Although it is somewhat hypothetical, it has not yet been discovered. The name people give to this kind of matter is called a single magnetic pole. When Yu Chuan was studying for a master’s degree, he once This single magnetic pole showed great interest, and in order to try to prove its existence, he kept trying to prove its existence. His experimental method was very original and attracted great attention from the professors."

"But none of those professors believed that I would succeed. They believed that a mere graduate student could complete a project that scholars all over the world could not complete." "To be honest, I am the same, and I don't think it is possible." "And the teachers' predictions really came true." Tang Chuan looked at Namie with a wry smile, "I spent more than a year building the theory, but I made a huge mistake in its foundation, so that article The final page of the paper is just a pile of waste paper.” "It is this kind of straightforwardness that I admire. For ordinary people, they are not willing to admit their mistakes and end up in a dead end. I also know many researchers who have wasted a lot of time and energy because of this. But You are different. You readily gave up the dream of exploring a single magnetic pole, and instead considered applying the experience gained before to a completely different field. What you later chose was a new investigation method for high-density magnets. At that time, I was really I was surprised that a person who is engaged in quantum mechanics would suddenly challenge the magnetic recording technology."

"That's just a wrong shot. To be honest, I did give up on myself at the time." "The name is also very unique, called 'Magnetic World Gear'. Just tell me honestly, when you obtained the patent, you must have hoped to get rich overnight with it, right?" "No, this..." "It's impossible not to think about it. After all, American companies were flooded with inquiries at that time." Xingzheng turned his head to look at Namie, his eyes widened. Namie let out an "ah" and looked at Yukawa in surprise. "But in the end, I couldn't sign a contract with any company, because the other party knew that it was actually a technology that could only be realized under very harsh conditions."

"It's such a pity, but it's a good thing for the physics community in Japan. Because if you stopped doing research after making a lot of money, Japan would have lost a valuable talent." "I can't do it. I have studied it for many years, but I haven't left any beneficial results. It's just a tooth increase." "You haven't reached the age of hopelessness. Speaking of which, you're still single, haven't you considered getting married?" Hearing Yukimasa's words, Namie blinked in surprise.She always thought that Tang Chuan already had a family.

"Everything has to pay attention to fate, and my fate seems to be blocked from the upstream." "You just think it's easier to be single, right?" Xing Zheng smiled and took a sip of cognac before returning to a serious expression, "But having said that, it is by no means a bad thing to be cautious about marriage. I also often I would think that it would be great if I could be a little more cautious at that time, but my mind was full of research work at the time, and I had no interest in marriage and family. I went on a blind date only after being introduced by someone, and finally decided to get married because I couldn’t think of a reason to refuse. However, major events in life cannot be judged so easily. Although I used to hate when my wife left home with the child in her arms. I passed her, but looking back now, I actually had something wrong with me. I should have had a good talk with him, but I wanted to save face and refused to bow my head. At this time, the American Massachusetts came to me , asked me to participate in a two-year joint research, and I crossed the ocean to the United States without telling my wife. The original two-year plan was extended to three years. During this period, I did not even contact my wife once. It's no wonder she's brooding."

Xingzheng drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, put the empty wine glass on the table, and reached out to the wine bottle. "dad." "You'd better stop drinking." Tang Chuan also advised him. "Just tonight, not next time." Now that he has said that, Namie can't force her to stop her anymore.In desperation, she had no choice but to pick up the wine bottle and pour some wine into Xing Zheng's glass. "A little more." "No, that's all." She said and put the cap on the bottle. Just then, the cell phone she had placed in the kitchen rang.There was only one person who called in the middle of the night.

"Go and pick it up, it's him." Xing Zheng said. "...Then I'll excuse you for a moment. Mr. Tang Chuan, please look at my father and don't let him drink more." Namie walked into the kitchen after hearing Yu Chuan's response of "OK".When I picked it up, it was indeed Sousuke Konno's call. "Sorry, I just got home. I heard from my mother that something big happened to you?" The Konno family lives in the same neighborhood, and both of them went to the same school in elementary school and junior high school, but because of their different ages, they did not go to the same school at the same time. "Yeah, the head is big." "Well, I heard that the other house was burned down, and the person who lived in it also died, right..." Konno's speech became slurred, as if he was trying to hold back his emotions. . "Well, that person is dead." Namie also tried her best to maintain a calm tone. Konno said "Really?" and then fell silent, and Namie was also speechless.Although the two clearly had the same thought, neither said it. "Then how is your condition? Are you not injured?" Konno finally asked. "I'm fine. The main house is not affected, and my dad is fine." "That's good. It's an arson case, right? You'll be fine if you stay there like this? The murderer is probably still nearby." "This is nothing more than a worry. The police will be on guard outside tonight, and there is a former student of my father's at home." "That shouldn't be a big problem. But then again, why did such a thing happen? Fortunately, it was the other house that was burned down. Thinking that the murderer came to the main house at that time, it makes people shudder." "Yeah, but don't worry about it." "why?" "Because the murderer is said to have come after that man." "Really? Didn't it just happen to set fire to another house?" "It's said that it's not that simple. For details, let's talk slowly when we meet next time." She always feels that it is inappropriate to talk about the ins and outs of the incident on the phone now. "Yes, it's better to rest early tonight. When can I see you again?" "I'm not too sure now, I'll send you a text message tomorrow." "Got it. I'll hang up then, good night." After saying good night, Namie also hung up the phone. Back in the living room, I saw Yu Chuan watching those ships in a bottle. "He said he was going back to the hotel too. The taxi will be there in ten minutes." Xing Zheng said. "I'm really sorry for making you stay with us so late." Namie nodded to Yukawa in apology. "However, I also spent a precious time. I think there will be a lot of things to be busy from tomorrow, so please take care of your health." "thanks!" "The two detectives surnamed Kusanagi and Utsumi who came over tonight are trustworthy people. If you encounter any trouble, you can ask them for help. If you can't get in touch with them, please call me." "We will. I'm really sorry to make you worry so much for us." Namie nodded again. Tang Chuan put the ship in a bottle back to its original position, and said, "Speaking of which, these works are really exquisite. It seems that your fingers are as flexible as before." "No, I still can't be as flexible as before, but it's fun to be able to make things. By the way, I made this thing myself." Xingzheng said and handed the stick to Yukawa. "This one?" Yu Chuan took the cane in his hand and looked at it carefully. "Turn the handle part and try." "Is that so?" Tang Chuan twisted the handle.He felt that there seemed to be something inside, and he grabbed the handle and pulled it back, only to see that the handle was extended by about 30 centimeters like a pump. "I made this with the handle of a broken folding umbrella." Xingzheng said, "It's a lazy stick. Every time I want to drag something a little far away, I will use this stick. If Not enough, just stretch it like this." "So that's how it is." Tang Chuanxue stuffed the stick back into place. At this moment, he seemed to have noticed something, "Huh? This switch is..." He turned on the switch, only to see a small red arrow appear on the wall next to him.It turned out to be a laser light pen. "What are you pretending to do?" Tang Chuan asked. "Of course it's used as a light pen. For example, like this," Xing Zheng took the cane and pressed the switch, and the arrow appeared on a box on the closet in the living room. "Then I called, Yu Chuan-kun, can you please help me carry that box? If you have inconvenient legs and feet, you have to use this kind of lazy tool." Yukawa nodded and smiled at Namie. "Looking at it like this, teacher, he can live a long life." "Indeed." Namie also nodded at him. After a while, the taxi arrived, and Tang Chuan got in the car and went back.In Namie's eyes, the back view of Xingzheng watching the car drive away is so lonely and desolate.
